McDonalds Barbie and Hot Wheels Happy Meal Toys 2019 Australia and New Zealand

McDonalds Barbie happy meal toys 2019 were promoted at McDonalds restaurants in Australia and New Zealand in March 2019 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Barbie toys You Can Be Anything. The promotion also included McDonalds Hot Wheels Happy Meal toys. There are four toys per set which is a pity as Barbie and Hot Wheels sets released in other countries had a larger complement of toys.

Collector Notes - Barbie 
All four Barbies in the Australasian McDonalds Barbie set 2019 have an identical Barbie in the United States release (Sept/Oct 2019). These are Barbie Vet, Barbie Astronaut, Barbie Surfer and Barbie Firefighter. The main difference between the two versions is that the full set from the USA has 8 toys and also includes: #1 Barbie Tennis Player, #3 Barbie Princess #5 Barbie Musician (Pop Star) #7 Barbie Ballerina.

McDonalds in partnership with Mattel have been releasing Barbie happy meal toys for some years now but 2019 was a special year given it was the 60th anniversary of Barbie. In this iteration the Barbies are plastic and stand around 127 mm tall or approximately 5 inches. The #barbie dolls have limited articulation and no removable clothing but on the plus side they look good on display and are popular with collectors.

Summary

McDonalds Barbie Happy Meal Toy promotion in 2019 celebrated 60 years of Barbie dolls with a You Can Be Anything theme. The Australia and New Zealand version only had four of the eight Barbie dolls released in USA. The lineup of Barbies differs from that of many Asian countries too. Along with the Barbies there were four Hot Wheels cars - a cut down version of the Hot Wheels promotion in the United States. The GT Hunter car which is in Asian releases was omitted from the Australasian release in favour of the Gazelle-R Jump.
